A good chromebook..
i like this Cromebook. I bought for my daughter but i quickly discovered it wasnt touch screen. Then i realized i didnt need touch screen because the mouse pad is so effective and the power performance is better, the laptop has fewer parts..etc. So i kept the laptop for myself and bought my daughter a touchsceen becuse she wanted that feature.

Love this Chromebook. Very easy to navigate through and works well with all the accessories I have. Wi-Fi works really well with this Chromebook also. Screen and picture looks nice. Sound quality is ok, it's a laptop. Has a HDMI connection for those that would like to use a monitor like myself. Get it
